I'm looking to pick up a lightweight small-ish sling bag for hiking away from base camp. I've got my big Osprey 70, but I'm looking for something that I can carry some water and odds and ends when hiking in the afternoons. Hopefully a sling bag that won't add too much weight to my overall gear total. Any suggestions?

Ya Rory that one looks good,same price as the arrowhead one I listed above (twice the weight)but a lot more features.I guess it depends on what is important to you.I think the shoulder strap on the Patagonia looks more comfortable too.The Zimmerbuilt Bandoleer I linked is heavier(more featues) and going to be more expensive(I am guessing).

The Zimmerman looks real sharp. But since I won't be overnighting with it, it may be more volume than I need. This would be more of an 4-5 hour hike bag. Overall, any ripstop solution is going to weigh next to nothing though so that extra space could be useful...hmmm.
